DErAUT.MHNT   OF   THE   IN'I'ERTOTI, 

Bureau  of  Education, 
Washhu/tou,  J).  C,  July  7,  1893. 

Sm:  T  suhinit  liorowitli  for  printing  si  Circular  of  Information  con- 
taininj;'  tiic  most  recent  statistics  regarding  the  public  libraries  in  the 
ITnitfHl  States  contai?iing  1,000  volumes  and  upward.  These  statistics 
lia\e  been  collected  under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  Flint,  the  statistician 
of  this  Otlice,  who  has  carefully  digested  the  returns.  In  the  introduc- 
ti(m  to  the  cii'cular  he  has  given  a  series  of  diagrams  showing  the  com- 
])ariitive  condition  of  older  and  newer  States  in  regard  to  libraries, 
together  with  an  exhibit  of  the  growth  in  the  six  years  since  the  last 
report  on  libraries  was  printed.  A  comparison  of  libraries  by  size, 
amount  of  library  property,  method  of  supi)ort,  method  of  issuing  books, 
(classes  of  books  in  the  collections,  nund)er  of  volumes  issued  to  readers, 
ratio  of  number  of  books  to  the  population,  and  other  items,  is  given, 
illustrated  with  graphic  views. 

In  the  year  1870  (ien.  Eaton,  then  Commissioner  of  Education, 
collected  statistics  giving  information  concerning  3,047  public  libraries 
in  the  United  States.  This  list  included  all  public  libraries  containing 
.'501)  volumes  and  upward  that  could  be  heard  from.  Ten  years  later 
(18S4-'8r)),  undertaking  to  revise  this  list,  he  succeeded  in  obtaining 
returns  I'rom  0,338  libraries — thus  increasing  the  former  list  by  1,691, 
or  nearly  50  per  cent. 

Tiie  expression  "publiclibrary"  in  this  list  included  school,  college, 
and  college  society  libraries;  medical,  theological,  law  libraries;  his- 
torical, scientitic,  and  sanitary  libraries,  social  libraries,  society  libraries, 
'nduding  those  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associations,  those  of 
Independent  Order  of  Odd  Fellows,  and  learned  societies;  general 
libraries,  including  free  libraries  supported  by  taxation,  subscription 
libiaries,  government  libraries,  and  in  l)ricf  all  libraries  for  the  use 
of  the  public  at  large  or  for  institutions,  societies,  or  special  classes  of 
people. 

The  aggregate  of  volumes  of  these  5,338  libraries  was  20,022,070, 
giving  an  average  of  nearly  4,000  volumes  to  each. 

Preeminent  among  States  was  the  showing  of  Massachusetts,  Avith 
its  5601  ibraries  and  3,560,085  volumes.  Next  came  New  York,  with 
2,168,508  volumes  in  780  libraries.  ^

on  an  avera<;eof  nearly  2,0(K)  to  eacili  librar}\  Jn  recent  years  large 
benefaclioiis  have  been  made  to  found  and  su]»port  libraries.  In  sec- 
tions where  publiit  libiaries  are  authorized  by  law  for  each  town  many 
•lonations  from  ])rivate  sour(!es  have  been  made  to  furnish  elegant  and 
convenicMit  buildings  to  hold  the  books. 

The  past  11  ((ecu  years  ibrm  an  era  of  unparalleled  activity  on  the  i)art 
of  the  professional  librarians  of  the  country.  It  is  interesting  to  note 
that  the  American  Library  Association  was  formed  at  the  time  of  the 
publication  of  the  first  rei)ort  by  this  Inireauof  the  statistics  of  libra- 
ries in  the  United  States.  That  rejiort  contained  a  notice  of  the  first 
convention  of  librarians  in  185.'i  and  a  call  for  the  first  meeting  of  the 
Library  Association  in  Philadelphia  in  LS70.  The  activity  of  the  Library 
Association  there  founded  has  been  a  wise  one,  because  it  has  been  a 
concerted  activity.  It  has  organized  beneficent  movements,  in  the 
Avay  of  classilication  and  methods  of  keeping  lil)rary  records;  in  useful 
devices  for  shelving,  for  issuing,  for  taking  inventories,  for  establish-  ' 
ing  bramdi  libraries  in  convenient  places,  for  making  the  library  useful 
to  special  classes,  for  printed  catalogues,  card  and  other  catalogues. 
Much  has  been  done  in  the  way  of  cataloguing  the  contents  of  serial 
publications  and  reports  of  institutions  and  systems.  The  library 
is  the  most  x)owerful  of  all  the  tools  of  thought,  and  to  the  American 
Library  Association  is  due  the  gratitude  of  scholars  for  numerous 
devices  which  tend  to  the  perfection  of  this  instrument. 

All  persiuis  interested  in  the  subject  of  educatiim  will  note  with  sat- 
isfaction the  progress  of  the  libiary.  Next  after  the  school  and  the  daily 
newspaiier  comes  the  library  in  educative  power.  These  three  institu- 
tions are  the  great  secular  means  which  our  peo])le  have  to  prepare 
themselves  for  their  singular  destiny.  The  school,  for  the  most  part, 
finds  its  function  in  teaching  how  to  read.  The  newspaper  and  library 
furnish  what  to  read. 

It  is  clear  that  one  of  the  most  important  interests  in  education  is  to 
be  found  in  connecting  closely  the  common  school  with  the  public 
library.  It  is  common  to  call  a  person  educated  who  knows  the  rudi- 
mentary branches — reading,  writing,  arithmetic,  geography,  history, 
grammar,  etc;.  By  these  he  is  enabled  to  help  himself  to  the  informa- 
tion and  wisdom  stored  u])  in  the  library.  He  is  prepared  to  begin 
the  work  of  educating  himself  To  be  educated  in  any  true  sense  of 
the  word  he  must  use  the  library  and  master  the  experience  of  man- 
kind.   The  school  gives  the  preliminary  i)reparatiou  for  education,  and

the  lildiiry  '/iws  tli«^  iiioaiis  by  which  Ihir  individual  <'<»inj>let«'M  and 
si('<'()iiiplislic.s  hiH  educjitioii. 

I  have  often  j)()inted  out  tliat  the  Aineri(!au  H(^hool  lias  soiiu».  sort  of 
justilicatiou  for  its  much  blanuMl  atlliereneo  to  the  text  book  in((thod  of 
instruction.  The  i)edago;;'uos  of  other  nations,  and(!S[>e('ia]]y  those  of 
(lennauy,  condemn  our  system  for  its  Avor.st  features — the  slavish  use 
of  the  book  ami  tiie  trequent  aecei»tanc,e  by  our  teacheis  of  parrot-like 
rejjetition  of  tlui  text  in  the  place  of  an  intelligent  understanding' of 
what  is  set  down  in  the  book  and  a  critical  investiyatiou  of  the  subject 
at  lirst  hand. 

This  is  doubtless  tlie  weakest  side  of  our  Siihool  education.  But  it 
has,  J  repeat,  this  great  good  thing  to  counterbalaniie  in  sonu.'  measure 
its  evil.  It  has  by  a  ha])i>y  sort  of  instinct  been  guided  towards  a 
newei'  and  higher  method  than  that  which  our  critics  would  i)ut  in  its 
l>lace,  For  they  would  substitute  the  oral  method,  and  thereby  make 
the  schoolboy  still  more  deperdenr  on  th(^  living  voice  of  his  teacher 
for  wliat  he  gets  from  mankind.  The  boy  who  is  taught  to  use  the 
]>rinted  page  proi)erly — how  to  weigh  its  statenu'uts  aud  criti(!ally  test 
them  by  such  experiments  as  he  can  make,  or  compare  them  with 
other  authorities  by  aidof  thelibrary — is  a  far  more  shifty  boy  than  the 
one  who  has  merely  received  his  instruction  orally.  For  it  is  n(»t 
usual  to  receive  from  the  living  teacher  his  words  in  a  critical  ami 
(pu'stioniug  attitude.  Few  teachers  are  able  to  encourage  in  their 
]»ui)ils  the  spirit  of  inquiry  and  indepemlent  verification  to  the  extent 
of  letting  their  own  teachings  submit  to  thistreatm<'nt.  There  isaome- 
thiug  too  personal  in  this  exclusively  oral  method,  this  lecturing  method, 
aud  it  has  its  \veak  sides,  as  weak  as  those  it  condemns  In  the  Ameri- 
can school.  For  if  there  are  pupils  in  every  school  aud  whole  classes 
in  exceptiomil  schools  that  nuunorize  the  words  of  the  book  without 
comprehending  their  meauing,  on  theother  hand  there  are  those  taught 
by  the  oral  method  who  write  out  thewordsof  their  teacher  and  piously 
re])eat  what  has  been  dictated  to  them.  Moreover,  not  having  before 
them  the  fidl  and  well-balanced  discussion  of  the  text-book,  they  get 
a  one-sided,  distorted  view  of  the  subjei't-matter.  They  can  not,  if 
they  come  to  a  point  where  they  lose  the  thread  of  the  discourse,  go

necessity  of  keeping  up  with  the  lecturer  and  lose  entirely  what  they 
fail  to  grasj)  on  first  hearing.  Such  pui)ils,  too,  grow  up  with  a  tend- 
ency to  recpiire  oral  exi)lauation  made  to  them  and  a  reluctauce  to  go 
to  the  scientific  treatise  and  dig  out  the  whole  subject  for  themselves. 

What  there  is  good  in  our  American  system  points  toward  this 
preparation  of  the  pupil  for  independent  study  of  the  book  by  himself. 
It  points  toward  acquiring  the  ability  of  self-education  by  means  of  the 
library. 

Instead  of  parrot-like  repetition  of  what  is  in  the  text-book,  our 
model  school  requires  the  pupil  to  restate  in  his  own  language  the  ideas

elsewhere  in  tlii^  l)ook. 

The  text  book  is  iinpersoTial  and  docs  not  impose  on  the  individuality 
of  the  i)Ui)il  the  wcij»ht  *»!'  authority  that  the  living  teacher  (!arrie.s 
with  him  in  spite  of  all  elforts  that  he  may  make  to  encourage  inde- 
pendent jud}j;ment. 

This  is  the  good  clement  in  our  Ameiicati  met  hod,  T  repeat  a{?ahi, 
and  when  our  country  was  every wiiere  spaisely  settled  (as  it  is  even 
now  except  in  a  few  sections)  it  was  obvious  that  tne  individual  nuist 
depend  on  the  i)rinted  pa^e  of  the  book  for  what  he  should  j»'et  from 
his  fellowmen  in  the  way  of  scientitic  observation  of  the  world  and  man, 
and.  in  the  way  of  thou<;lit  and  rellection  on  the  (hita  reciorded.  The 
librsiry  is  the  storehouse  of  the  aj;jxi'<'.i;':ite  observations  of  all  mankind 
on  the  i)heiiomena  of  the  universe — not  of  what  the  senses  of  one  si n.u'lo 
man  liave  perceived,  but  of  what  the  senses  of  all  men  have  perceived; 
more  than  this,  the  library  holds  the  record  of  the  retlections  of  all 
human  brains  on  these  data  of  observation.  And  even  more  than  this, 
the  Hbrary  holds  in  its  works  of  literary  art  the  i)ortrayal  of  human 
nature  as  it  has  ^een  lived  and  is  lived  by  all  sta<ies  of  civilization  ami 
by  the  various  races  that  people  the  earth.  It  holds  this  vast  mass  of 
observation,  rellection,  and  insight,  not  in  its  crude  form,  but  winnowed 
out — each  grain  that  the  libi'ary  preserves  was  taken  from  a  mountain 
of  chaft".  Doubtless  it  holds  still  on  its  shelves  much  chaff,  but  com- 
l)ared  with  the  crude  material  of  human  exi)erience  from  which  it  has 
been  saved  it  is  all  precious  grain. 

In  the  American  school  the  ])ui)ii  is  set  to  work  learning  how  to 
Tnaster  what  is  found  on  the  printed  page.  This  is  the  central  objecit 
toward  which  our  national  methods  have  been  unconsciously  guided. 
In  order  that  the  pupil  shall  acquire  the  ability  to  use  the  library  he 
must  first  learn  to  read.  This  involves  learning  the  alphabet  and 
the  spelling  book  and  nuich  more.  For  the  schoolboy  mu'3t  in  school 
set  about  acquiring  a  new  and  higher  vocabulary  of  words.  He  brings 
with  him  from  home  a  colloquial  vo(!abulary  meager  in  its  num- 
ber of  words  and  in  their  quality  to  express  subtle  distinctions  or  pre- 
cise definitions,  or  elevated  sentiment,  or  profound  thoughts.  In  school 
he  commences  by  learning  first  how  to  recognize  the  words  of  his  col- 
loquial vocabulary  in  a  printed  and  written  form.  Before  this  epocli 
he  has  only  known  them  by  ear — they  were  sounds  to  him — now  they 
must  be  represented  to  his  eye  by  conventional  characters. 

After  lie  has  learned  to  recognize  the  words  in  i^rinted  form  that 
were  already  familiar  to  him  by  ear,  he  is  set  to  mastering  a  series  of 
text-books  which  use  strange  technical  words  new  to  his  ear,  new  to  his 
eye,  aud  likewise  expressing  ideas  new  to  Ids  miud.     He  learns  a

Im'  and  his  contemporaries  Imve  descended,  lie  learns  1o  recofjni/e  in 
the  institutions  oi' society  the  oipmized  forms  of  ids  lii<;her  selves  that 
have  been  unfolded  and  realized  tor  him  in  tiiose  institutions.  A 
special  vo(!abulary  has  to  bo  learned  for  these  thinjjs  and  also  for  the 
study  of  lanj;na{;e  in  grammar  and  pliilology.  Lanfiuaj:*'  is  the  tirst 
revelation  of  hunuvn  nature,  its  structure  being  an  embodiment  of 
the  logical  laws  of  the  miml. 

Every  special  science  has  its  own  special  vocabulary,  larger  or  smaller, 
of  new  words.  The  schoolboy  must  learn  their  external  forms  and 
their  internal  meanings. 

But  there  is  a  more  important  aii  .  more  in-actical  language  of  read- 
ing than  science,  and  this  is  literature  or  what  l;as  been  called  the 
"literary  bibles"  of  the  nations.  The  content  of  liteiat;  re  is  the 
revelation  of  human  life  in  its  aspirations  and  actions,  in  i.:  victories 
and  i's  defeuts.  Homer,  Dante,  Shakespeare,  ami  ( Joethe  are  the  great 
leaders  of  the  sacred  army  of  men  who  hii .  e  made  and  are  making 
this  revelation  of  human  life.  Every  literary  writer  has  a  style  of  his 
own,  which  his  readers  must  learn  to  master.  The  school  teaches  a 
hundred  or  more  of  tlujse  styles  by  choice  extra(;ts  in  the  higher 
school  readers,  the  selections  being  intense  and  in)i)assioned  pieces  of 
prose  and  poetry  calculated  to  arouse  the  inuvgination,  refine  the 
taste,  and  kindle  the  aspiration  of  the  youth,  as  well  as  give  him  some 
acquaintance  with  the  special  vocabulary  and  peculiarities  of  style 
that  he  uses.  For  this  purpose  a  book  of  selections  like  the  typical 
school  reader  is  far  better  than  any  other  device  that  can  be  thought 
of.  But  it  should  be  supplemented  by  other  retuling  which  deals  with 
entire  works  of  literary  art. 

I  come  now  to  mention  a  practical  devicie  by  which  the  common 
school  can  especially  lit  its  pupils  for  the  use  of  the  library,  and  a 
device,  too,  that  any  library  can  aid  indefinitely  in  carrying  out  in  its 
neighborhood. 

The  regular  reading  lesson  in  the  school  docs  not  and  can  not 
occupy  much  time  on  the  daily  programme.  Not  many  pages  can  be 
read  over,  because  the  pupil  nmst  be  questioned  and  cross-questioned 
on  the  meaning  and  use  of  the  words  and  on  the  power  and  effect  of 
the  style  used  and  on  the  near  and  remote  thoughts  suggested.  No 
pupil  after  a  good  drill  on  a  literary  piece  ever  reads  a  similar 
piece  in  book  or  periodical  without  looking  consciously  or  uncon- 
sciously for  some  of  the  points  that  have  been  brought  out  in  his 
lesson.  He  is  now  of  a  capacity  to  get  more  from  his  reading  than 
was  before  possible  to  him.  His  vocabulary  has  been  increased,  but 
not  so  much  as  his  power  to  increase  it.    If  he  would  only  take  home 


X  LETTER   OF   TRANSMITTAL. 

with  liiin  a  book  from  tin;  library  and  read  a  whole  story  written  by 
the  author  whosi^  literary  f^'eia  he  has  carefully  studied  in  school,  he 
would  be  able  to  increase  his  higher  vocabulary  far  more  rapidly  than 
he  will  do  otherwise.  ILe  will,  moreover,  fix  and  assimilate  this  higher 
vo(!abulary  in  such  a  way  tiiat  it  will  always  remain  his  own.  Still 
better,  he  will  become  a  home  reader  an<l  a  user  of  the  library  for  life. 

Let  us  sui)i)ose  that  he  has  read  for  tiie  day  with  his  class  at  school 
a  charming  selectiou  froui  Walter  Scott's  "Lady  of  the  Lake."  The 
teacher  has  tea  (!oi)ies  of  the  "Lady  of  the  Lake,"  atul  lets  the  ten  best 
pupils  in  the  class  take  home  tiie  poem  for  the  week  and  read  it 
through — a  week  is  sutlicient  for  this.  The  entire  poem  is  the  topic 
for  an  hour's  conversation  on  a  Friday  afternoon.  The  ne:  t  week  the 
second  ten  pupils  take  this  poem  to  their  homes;  a  third  week  another 
set  of  ton,  and  soon  until  all  the  class  have  read  this  jwem,  which  will 
make  a  memorable  epoch  in  their  lives.  A  selection  from  Swift's  Gul- 
liver's voyages  to  Lilliput  or  to  Brobdignag  would  i»erliai)sbe  found  in 
the  cliild's  fourth  or  fifth  reading  book,  and  the  whole  stoi-y  could  be 
read  at  home  by  the  children  if  ten  or  twenty  copies  of  the  book  belonged 
to  the  school  library. 

The  library  is  the  most  important  link  in  that  great  movement  that 
has  recently  spread  hither  from  England.  I  refer  to  university  and 
school  extension.  l<'ew  children  comjdete  the  course  even  of  the 
primary  school.  Only  one  in  four  who  enter  the  high  school  comjdetes 
it.  The  great  desideratum,  therefore,  is  some  method  by  which  the 
school  infiuence  can  follow  the  pupils  who  leave  school  before  complet- 
ing the  work,  or  who,  graduating  from  it,  ought  to  continue  their  work. 
Having  learned  how  to  read,  they  should  now  use  their  acquired  i>ower 
to  some  purpose,  to  master  the  fields  of  human  learning. 

I  have  spoken  of  the  eminent  value  of  works  of  literary  art  for  giving 
the  pupil  a  higher  vocabulary  of  thought  and  feeling,  and  for  making 
him  acquainted  with  himself.  By  this  knowledge  one  does  not,  of 
course,  mean  a  knowledge  of  his  own  ])etty  idiosyncrasies  and  peculiar- 
ities, but  a  knowledge  of  human  iiature  at  large;  a  knowledge  of  what 
is  substantial  in  character  and  profound  in  human  thought.  Literature 
is  the  best,  but  it  should  not  by  any  means  be  the  exclusive  course  of 
reading. 

For  the  supplementary  reading  to  be  done  at  home  there  should  be 
intermingled  books  of  history,  books  of  travel,  popular  expositions  of 
the  different  sciences.  Some  people  would  have  these  books  and  no 
others,  and  would  call  them  alone  the  "solid"  books,  while  the  pure 
literary  works  they  would  denominate  "trash."  In  my  opinion  they 
could  not  commit  a  more  serious  error.  I  have  known  many  parents 
possessed  of  the  science  craze  who  tried  to  educate  their  children  on 
science  to  the  exclusion  of  literature,  but  their  results  were  intiful. 
Their  children  were  deprived  of  an  insight  into  human  life — into  the 
springs  of  human  character  and  the  motives  that  prevail  among  the 
people  with  whom  they  must  live.    This  knowledge  of  human  life

obtainod  tlirou;^'h  the  wvitiiijis  of  jjenins  should  occni)y  tlie  first  ]»hico 
oil  tli(^  list  of  studies  essi'utiiil  to  direct  self  i)resevvatiou,  usiu<>'  tlie 
expressiou  of  JMr.  Herbert  Speueer  aud  pointing  out,  by  the  way,  that 
his  own  selieme  of  studies  is  very  far  from  correspouding  to  thcrequire- 
nieuts  of  the  principles  that  he  lays  dowu. 

On  the  other  hand,  one  must  be  careful  not  to  commit  the  opposite 
mistakf^s  of  excluding  science  and  liislory  or  of  slighting  these  studies 
for  literature.     They  are  all  necessary. 

It  must  not  be  forgotten  that  this  work  in  supidemeutary  reading  ia 
a  work  of  self-help  on  the  part  of  the  pu])il  and  is  of  very  great  value  from 
this  point  of  view,  it  assists  very  much  to  neutralize  the  effects  of  bad 
school  uiethods  where  they  happen  to  exist.  Another  great  point  is 
that  the  books  are  taken  lioine  by  the  pupils  into  families  who  have  no 
accumulation  ')f  books,  or,  at  best,  only  of  such  books  as  lack  i)opular 
interest.  Tlicsii  books  taken  home  are  jucked  u])  by  the  parents  aiul 
older  brothers  and  sisters  and  read  by  them.  This  makes  the  supple- 
mentary leading  system  an  educator  of  the  people  as  people — an  exten- 
sion of  the  school  that  is  of  vital  importance. 

The  library  should  get  hold  of  this  pliase  of  school  extension  and  so 
manage  it  that  all  who  begin  it  are  drawn  into  the  use  of  the  library. 

Fiction  is  the  bait  by  which  \ve  create  a  love  for  reading,  and  it  should 
lead  out  to  other  reading,  especially  in  the  line  of  science,  and  history, 
and  philosophy.  JJut  1  have  tried  to  show  that  it  is  not  a  hopeless  case 
if  it  does  not  lead  into  these  fields  to  any  great  extent,  for  the  reading 
of  fiction  has  tlie  substantial  benefits  which  I  have  stated.  But  there 
is  fiction  and  fiction.  Fiction  written  by  an  author  who  has  deeply 
lived,  deeply  felt,  and  deeply  thought  is  of  value  to  all  men  whether 
simple  or  learned. 

But  the  weak  and  shallow  w^'iter  who  has  not  sounded  the  depths  of 
life,  not  seen  its  ethical  substructure,  such  a  writer  is  immoral  and 
misleading  in  his  views  of  life  even  though  he  supposes  himself  to  be 
very  religious,  and  be,  in  fiu!t,  engaged  in  writing  Sunday-school  books. 

In  another  circular  of  information  published  by  this  Bureau  is  given 
a  list  of  the  5,(K)l)  books  to  be  purchased  as  the  most  useful  foundation 
for  a  new  library.  Tluise  books  are  classified  alphabetically  by  authors 
and  titles,  by  two  separate  schemes  of  classification.  Another  cir(!ular, 
"(hitter's  Kules,"of  which  tw^o  editions  have  already  been  printed  and 
circulated,  relates  to  the  minute  details  of  the  professional  librarian's 
"work.  It  is  a  circular  prepared  by  Mr.  Cutter,  of  the  Boston  A  thenieuni, 
and  has  been  widely  called  for  and  used. 

I  can  not  forbear  calling  attention  again  and  again  to  the  cosmopolitan 
significance  of  the  three  educational  instrumentalities  of  our  time. 
The  school  teaches  how  to  read — how  to  use  the  printed  page  to  get  out 
of  it  all  that  it  contains.  The  library  furnishes  the  what  to  read;  it 
opens  the  storehouse  of  all  human  learning.  Tliese  two  are  comple- 
mentary functions  in  the  great  work  of  education.    But  the  third  great

odiicational  appliaiico  of  oiiv  time  is  the  periodi«!al,  and  especially  tlio 
daily  uewspaiicv.  In  fact,  we  are  in  our  ti:iie  acquiriug  a  sort  of  new 
consciousness  by  aid  of  this  instrument,  for  it  is  a  spiritual  process 
of  mauufacturiny  public  opinion  out  of  private  observation  and  rcilec- 
tion.  Every  niorniny  it  is  customary  for  the  dweller  in  the  city  to  take 
a  survey  of  the  entire  life  of  the  j^lobe — a  brief  glance  at  the  nations 
most  remote,  a  fuller  view  of  those  more  nearly  related  to  him,  and  a 
com])lete  survey  of  Avhat  is  in  his  neighborhood.  The  coiTclation  of 
the  near  and  tiie  remote,  the  cnstom  of  carrying  in  his  mind  the  world 
afiairs,  develops  a  sort  of  epic  consciousness  vastly  more  educative 
than  the  former  village  gossip  that  i)revailed  in  the  tavern  or  in  the 
shop.  It  elevates  the  individual  into  a  higher  plane  of  thinking,  sub- 
stituting the  universal  for  the  particular.  Itwoidd  seem  as  though  tlio 
world  as  a  whole  is  bound  to  grow  into  this  newspaper  civilization  and 
that  it  is  a  ne(;essity  of  all  newspai)er  civilizations  to  be  democratic  in 
their  form  of  government.  But  it  is  evident  that  this  newspaper  spe- 
cies of  education  needs  the  cooperation  and  periecting  intluence  of  the 
library.  The  school  is  essential  to  the  newspaper  reader  to  give  him 
that  knowledge  of  a  printed  vocabnlary  of  Avords  and  that  smattering 
of  geography,  history,  grannnar  and  science  required  to  understand 
and  follow  the  newspaper  articles. 

The  apparatus  for  higher  investigaticm  is  to  be  tbund  in  the  biblio- 
graphic lists  in  various  lields  of  human  learning.  The  librarians  have 
constructed  indexes  to  periodical  literature,  subclassiticd  under  such 
heads  as  the  several  spei  ial  sciences,  the  special  de  )artments  of  his- 
tory, localities,  biographies,  etc.  A ''Critical  History  of  America"  in 
eight  volumes  has  bee";  prepared  by  a  distinguished  librarian.  Here 
is  a  held  in  which  tlu>  librarian  jirepares  the  mass  of  human  learning 
for  the  use  of  his  less  persistent  or  less  i)lodding  fellow-citizen,  the 
newspaper  reader,  or  at  best  the  popidar  book  reader.  The  learned 
librarian  leads  him  to  original  sources  and  oft'ers  these  sources  in  a 
compendious  form  for  his  use.  Indexes  and  collections  of  original 
sources  do  wonders  to  deepen  and  make  accurate  the  s(;holarship  of 
a  nation.  Those  familiar  with  Clernuiu  scholarship  need  oidy  to  bo 
reminded  of  the  vast  number  of  works  of  this  order  which  facilitate  the 
complete  survey  of  si)ecial  subjects. 

The  school  and  the  newspaper  and  the  library,  working  together,  may 
be  each  heli)ed  by  the  other,  and  all  maybe  united  into  one  very  potent 
instrumentality  of  education  for  the  universal  elevation  of  the  people 
that  is  on  its  procession  in  diiferent  parts  of  the  world.  The  community, 
locally  self- governed,  is  likely  to  be  interested  with  a  truly  cosmoi)olitau 
spirit  (and  shall  I  not  say  with  a  missionary  spirit?)  in  all  other  pe()i)le8 
around  the  globe.  In  this  line  we  see  infinite  i)ossibilities  of  gi"owth  in 
l)erfection,  inliuite  possibilities  of  that  education  which  adds  to  the 
individual  life  vicariously  the  life  and  life's  experience  of  all  bis  fellow- 
men. 


LETTER   OF   TRANSMITTAL.

This  aspect  of  tlic  question  suggests  a  '■till  broader  one:  The  s(;hool 
and  the  newspaper  and  the  library,  working  together  in  mutual  help- 
fulness, form  the  very  potent  means  of  education  which  is  necessary  for 
the  universal  elevation  of  the  ])eople  that  characterizes  the  history  of 
the  world  in  the  present  century.  Intercommunication  by  steamships, 
railroads,  telegraphs,  telephones,  and  an  omnipresent  postal  system, 
generates  a  cosmopolitan  sj)irit,  or  what  is  better  called  the  missionary 
si)irit.  Feelings  of  hostility  toward  ibreign  nations  or  distant  sections 
of  one's  own  country  give  place  to  feelings  of  humane  i)ersonal  interest- 
As  each  section  becomes  locally  self-governed  it  uses  its  directive  i)ower 
more  and  more  in  view  of  the  net  result  of  the  experience  of  the  entire 
human  race.  This  threefold  means  of  education  increases,  with  greater 
and  greater  rapidity,  the  diffusion  of  local  self-govern m.ent.  There  'S  a 
brain  for  each  pair  of  hands.  Each  brain  avails  itself  by  means  of  the 
printed  page  of  the  labors  of  all  other  brains.  Life  becomes  vicarious. 
Each  human  being  lives  his  life  not  only  for  himself  but  as  a  lesson  for 
all  his  fellowmen.  Others  may  use  his  successful  experiments  and  avoid 
repeating  his  unsuccessful  ones. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

STATISTICS  OF  LIBRARIES  IN  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

From  the  ostiiblislmiont  of  a  Dei)iirtinent  of  Education  in  18G7,  and 
its  convt'isioii  into  a  Bureau  in  18()0,  tlie  iiiiportance  of  libraries  as  a 
factor  in  educational  work  lias  been  recogni/ed  in  its  raports  and  other 
imblications.  The  extended  work  of  the  Bureau  on  this  subject  be- 
gan in  1S70,  when  tlie  collection  of  statistics  and  the  preparation  of  the 
matter  for  a  special  report  on  luiblic  libraries  was  undertaken.  The 
report  was  issued  in  1876.  This  was  before  any  regular  library  jour- 
nal was  printed  in  this  country,  and  what  has  been  done  during  the 
penod  since  1S7()  by  the  Bureau  contains  no  small  portion  of  the  his- 
tory of  the  progress  of  libraries  in  this  country.  This  special  report, 
after  giving  a  short  history  of  the  first  (,'onvention  of  librarians  in 
185.'i,  contains  the  notice  of  a  call  for  the  first  meeting  of  the  American 
Library  Association  in  Philadelphia  in  1870,  thus  showing  at  the 
very  beginning  its  interest  in  library  management  as  a  very  prominent 
part  in  the  educational  interests  of  the  country. 

The  JUireau  of  I'klucation  at  that  time,  in  considering  the  importance 
of  libraries  in  connecition  with  education,  undertook  four  distinct  tilings: 
(1)  To  trace  the  history  of  public  libraries  in  the  United  States;  (2)  to 
show  their  present  condition  and  extent;  [3)  to  discTiss  the  various  ques- 
tions of  library  economy  and  management;  and  (4)  to  present  complete 
statistical  information  of  public  libraries  of  all  classes.  At  that 
early  date  these  four  points  mentioned  covered  a  large  field  in  the 
matter  of  library  economy  and  management,  .and  the  publications  of 
the  Bureau  since  that  date  have  given  no  small  portion  of  their  pages 
to  these  questions.  As  to  the  early  statistics  of  libraries  in  this  coun- 
try but  little  can  bo  found.  Prof.  Jewett,  in  his  "Notices  of  Public 
Libraries,"  published  by  the  Smithsonian  Institution  in  1850,  gave  a 
summary  of  public  libraries,  amounting  to  094  and  containing  at  that 
time  2,201,032  volumes.  In  the  census  of  1850  an  attempt  was  made 
to  give  the  number  of  libraries  and  the  number  of  volumes  they  con- 
tained, exclusive  of  school  and  Sunday  school  libraries.     This  number 

was  1,500;   the  number  of  volumes,   2,447,080.     In  1856  Mr. 

Edwards  in  his  summary  of  libraries  gave  a  much  smaller  number  of 
libraries,  being  only  ;}41,  but  the  number  of  volumes  was  nearly  the 
same,  being  2,371,887,  and  was  also  based  upon  the  census  of  1850. 
Mr.  William  J.  Khees,  in  his  "  Manual  of  Public  Libraries,"  Avliich  was 
printed  iu  1859,  gave  a  list  of  2,902  libraries,  but  of  all  this  number

only  1,312  luul  any  report  whatever  of  llie  imiuber  of  volmues  they 
eoiitiiined. 

From  tliese  iiieiij;er  statistics  it  is  seen  tliat  tlie  rejMtrts  do  not  vary 
\  ery  much,  giving  about  the  same  number  of  libraries  and  nund)i'r  of  vol- 
umes in  them,  taking  account  of  the  changes  that  would  (»ccnr  from  the 
dilVerent  classih<'ations  as  to  -what  was  excei)ted  or  omitted  as  a  library. 
The  annual  reports  of  the  Bureau  from  1870  to  1S71  (jontained  limited 
statistics  of  only  a  few  hundred  libraries,  and  little  more  is  sliown  than 
the  tV.ct  that  there  were  about  L*,()00  public  libraries  of  all  kinds  in  the 
United  States.  About  five  years  of  labor  was  exi)ended  in  collecting 
material  for  the  si)ecial  report  of  the  Bureau  upon  public  libraries, 
which  was  printed  in  187G,  ami  this  gave  a  listof  .'5, 04'.l  libraries  of  over 
.'5()0  volumes,  and  the  total  number  of  volumes  was  lU,L'7<i,tl(il,  this  being 
about  the  lust  I'airly  complete  colled  ion  of  library  statistics.  In  the 
report  of  the  Bureau  for  1884-85,  after  considerable  correspondence  and 
using  the  former  work  as  a  basis,  another  list  of  ])ublic  libraries  was 
Itublished,  amounting  to  5,388  libraiies  of  over  oOO  vohunes,  an  inci'case 
of  1,801)  libraries  in  ten  years,  or  almost  54  per  cent.'  The  nund)er  of 
volumes  contained  in  these  libraries  at  that  time  was  L'0,()22,()7(},  or  an 
increase  of  ab<mt  GO  i)ei'  cent,  and  showing  that  the  percentage  of 
increase  in  the  number  of  volumes  was  even  greater  than  that  of  the 
number  of  libraries.  An  estimate  of  the  proportion  of  smaller  lil)raiies 
under  500  volumes  in  that  list  indicates  tliat  these  smaller  libraries 
included  only  about  20  per  cent  of  the  books,  so  that  this  list  could  be 
said  to  fairly  show  the  extent  of  the  libraries  at  that  time. 

In  the  report  for  188(5-87,  detailed  statistics  of  the  various  classes  of 
libraries  were  giveu,  except  those  of  colleges  and  schools,  which  were 
included  in  the  statistics  of  those  institutions.  From  the  uncertainty 
of  the  data  and  the  imperfect  records  given  of  tlie  very  snuill  libraries, 
it  was  deemed  best  to  restrict  the  statistics  to  collections  of  books  that 
might  be  fairly  called  representative,  and  as  those  having  less  than 
1,000  volumes  nnule  but  a  proportionally  small  ])ercentage  of  tin;  whole 
number  of  books  the  basis  of  1,000  volumes  or  over  was  taken.  This 
list  included  the  st  vtistics  only  of  libraries  of  this  size  and  amoniited  to 
1,777  libraries,  containing  14,012,370  volumes,  and  were  arranged  in  sep- 
arate lists  by  classes  as  far  as  it  could  be  done.  The  libraries  thus 
reported,  which  were  wholly  or  partly  suppcuted  by  public-  moneys, 
nuuibeied  070  and  contained  0,003,850  volumes.  Those  otherwise  main- 
tained numbered  1,109,  containing  7,048,520  volumes.  Neai'ly  every 
one  of  the  libraries  maintained  wholly  or  partly  by  public  moneys 
was  free  for  public  use.  Of  the  libraries  otherwise  maintained,  8(J8 
required  membershi])  fees,  annual  subscriptions,  or  payment  for  books 
taken  out,  and  these  contained  5,532,750  volumes.  From  this  it  would 
seem  to  follow  that  the  other  911  libraries,  containing  8,890,020  vol- 
umes, were  probably  free  libraries.  The  number  of  libraiies  and  of  vol- 
uiues  iu  each  of  the  seven  special  classes  iu  the  report  made  iii  .l§87  was 


PUBLIC    LIBRAKIES    IN    THE    UNITED    STATEH.  3 

as  follows:  Free  public  lending  libiiivies,  434;  volumes,  3,721,101;  iVeo

and  circulating  libraries  proper,  751;  volumes,  215,487.

The  statistics  given  in  the  following  pages  are  for  the  year  1801, 
and  include  only  libraries  of  1,000  volumes  and  over,  thus  diiVering  from 
the  com])lete  report  of  1885:

By  examining  Table  I,  it  will  be  seen  tliat  there  were,  in  1891,  ;<,8()4 
libraries.  Of  these,  3  contain  over  r)0(),000  volumes;  1  between  .'300,0(t(> 
andaOO,000;  20  between  1()(),()()0  and  300,000;  08  between  50,000  and 
100,000;  128  between  25,000  and  50,000;  383  between  10,000  and  25,000; 
505  between  5,000  and  10,000;  and  2,300  between  1,000  and  5,000,  in 
the  s'e'>Si"'Pli'<'iil  distribution  of  these  libraries,  the  North  AtlantitJ 
Division  lias  2  of  the  first  class,  or  ()7  per  cent;  15  of  the  tliird  class, 
or  58  per  cent;  30  of  the  fourth  class,  or  53  per  cent;  75  of  the  flftli 
class,  or  59  jier  cent;  182  of  the  sixth  class,  or  47.5  per  cent;  295  of 
the  seventh  class,  or  52  i)er  cent;  and  1,308  of  the  eighth  class,  or  50 
per  cent.  The  South  Atlantic.  Division  has  1,  or  33.33  per  cent,  of  the 
first  class;  0,  or  23  i)cr  cent,  of  the  third  class;  9,  or  13  per  cent,  of  the 
fourth  class ;  15,  or  11.7  per  cent,  of  the  fifth  class :  .'54,  or  9  per  cent,  of  the 
sixth  class;  59,  or  10.5  per  cent,  of  the  seventh  class;  and  214,  or  8  per 
cent,  of  the  eighth  class.  The  South  ('entral  Division  Las  4,  or  0  per 
cent,  of  the  fourtli  class ;  3,  or  2.8  per  cent,  of  the  fifth  class ;  27,  or  7  per 
cent, of  the  sixth  class;  30,  or  0.4  per  cent,  of  the  seventh  class;  and 
180,  or  7  per  cent,  of  the  eighth  class.  The  North  Central  Division  has 
the  only  one  of  the  second  class ;  4,  or'15.4  jier  cent,  of  the  third  class ;  13, 
or  19  per  cent, of  the  fourth  class;  30,  or  23  per  cent,  of  the  fifth  class; 
119,  or  31  per  cent,  of  the  sixth  class ;  143,  or  25  per  cent,  of  the  seventli 
class;  and  789,  or  30  per  cent,  of  the  eighth  class.  The  Western  Divis- 
ion has  1,  or  4  per  cent,  of  the  third  class;  0,  or  9  per  cent,  of  the  fourth 
class;  5,  or  4  per  cent,  of  the  fifth  class;  21,  or  55  per  cent,  of  the  sixth 
class ;  32,  or  5.7  per  cent,  of  the  seventh  class ;  and  133,  or  5  per  cent,  of 
the  eighth  class.  A  study  of  this  table  by  States  gives  very  interest- 
ing details  of  the  location  of  the  larger  libraries,  as  well  as  tlie  larger 
uumber  of  libraries  in  those  portions  of  the  country  where  the  system 
of  free  public  libraries  has  been  longest  in  existence.  Of  all  these 
classes,  the  State  of  Xew  York  has  511  libraries  and  Massachusetts 
508,  decreasing  down  to  3,  which  is  the  lowest  uumber,  as  will  be  found 
in  Table  IV,  on  pp.  9-10.

This  table  lias  beeu  made  by  estiinates  and  eliniinatiou  to  agree  in 
form  as  fiir  as  possible  with  Table  IV  of  the  statistics  for  1891,  so  as 
to  make  the  comparison  as  to  the  average  si/e  of  libraries,  average 
])opulation  to  a  library,  and  average  number  of  books  for  the  six  years 
l)er\veen  1.S.S5  and  ISOl.  Tin;  library  Journal  for  1885  contained  a  table 
giving  the  number  of  books  to  each  person,  according  to  the  report  of 
libraries  of  .'iOO  volumes  or  over  for  ISS"),  published  by  the  Bureau; 
but  that  table  was  based  upon  the  population  of  1880,  which  was  five 
years  eailier  than  the  report  from  the  lil>raries,  and  hence  was  not  an 
exact  comparison  as  to  population  and  libraries,  etc.  Table  V  has  been 
corrected  as  to  population  by  taking  either  the  State  census  of  1885  or 
estimates  for  that  year.  The  numl)er  of  libraries  for  1885  has  been 
made  upon  the  basis  of  those  containing  1,000  volumes  by  subtracting 
all  tliose  under  1,000  volumes  from  the  list.  The  number  of  volumes 
also  includes  only  those  of  libraries  containing  1,000  volumes,  which 
makes  it  correspond  to  the  table  of  1891.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that 
Tables  IV  and  \'  are  made  n])on  the  same  basis  as  far  as  possible.  By 
C(»mparing  these  two  tables  it  will  be  seen  that  the  increase  in  the  nnm- 
licr  of  libraries  has  been  (piite  a  large  percentage  in  the  six  years 
mentioned,  as  well  as  the  increase  in  the  nund)er  of  volumes  in  the 
libraries.  An  examination  of  the  ligures  for  the  different  States  will 
show  the  exact  increase  for  each  one,  ami  makes  a  very  interesting 
study.  In  order  to  show  more  clearly  to  the  eye  this  increase,  in  both 
libraries  and  number  of  volumes  in  the  whole  United  States  and  in  the 
dilferent  divisions,  Diagram  2  has  been  prei)ared.

of  57,  or  40.43  i)er  cent.  These  figures  show  that,  comparatively,  the 
hirgest  increase  iu  the  number  of  libraries  was  in  tiie  Western  Division, 
and  of  the  number  of  volumes  the  {ireatest  increase  was  iu  the  2s'orth 
Central  Division.  Tht;  percentafie  of  increase  in  the  whole  country 
was  66.3  for  six  years,  or  an  averaji-e  of  over  11  i)er  cent  each  year, 
which  at  this  rate  would  double  the  number  of  volumes  and  libraries 
every  nine  years. 

From  the  foregoing  tables.  Diagram  3,  p.  15,  has  been  prepared  to  show 
the  increase  in  the  average si/e  of  the  libraries  in  tlie  country  and  in  the 
•several  divisions.  This  shows  that  iu  the  United  States  in  1885  the 
average  size  of  the  libraries  of  over  1,000  Aolumes  was  6.381  volumes, 
and  in  1801,  8,194,  an  average  iucrejijse  of  1,813  volumes  to  each  library, 
or  28.4  per  cent.  In  the  Xorth  Atlantic  Division  the  growth  was  from 
6,084  to  8,680  volumes,  an  increase  of  2,586,  or  42.7  percent;  in  the  Soutii 
Atlantic,  from  9,675  to  12,670  volumes,  au  increase  of  2,945,  or  30.3  per 
cent;  in  the  South  Central,  from  4,200  to  5,257  volumes,  an  increase  of 
1,057,  or  25  per  cent;  in  the  Xorth  Central,  from  5,020  to  6,668  volumes, 
an  increase  of  1,648,  or  33  ])er  cent,  and  iu  the  Western,  from  6,737  to 
8,046  volumes,  an  increase  of  1,309,  or  19.5  per  cent.  The  libraries  f)f 
the  largest  average  size  are  found  in  the  South  Atlantic  Division;  but 
this  is  explained  by  the  fa(;t  of  the  largo  average  size  of  libraries  iu  thci 
District  of  Columbia,  notably  increased  by  the  rapid  growth  of  the 
Library  of  Congress  during  the  last  few  years.  The  diagiam  shows
